Will these Volks fit?

Hey Gang. I'm thinking about picking up a set of Volk TE37's 18x9.5 +38 and 18x10 +41. I'm going to drop it ~2"-3" and leave ~1"-2" between the wheel and the fender (ie I'm not looking to slam this thing). The question is, will it fit on a stock body without rolling fenders?

Thanks in advance!

depends on what tire size you choose. I recently installed 18x10+41 square on my car with 265s. my fenders are rolled and the fronts still rub a little. I need to roll my fenders a bit more.

I'm thinking about running 245's up front and 255's in the rear.

It sounds like that should work with unrolled fenders. My rears have plenty of room right now.

Dropping 2-3” but still leaving 1-2” gap

I have 18x9.5+45 in the front with 255’s and a slight roll. No rubbing here, even at the track, with my front ride height around 24.5” to the top of the fender.

It also depends on which tires you choose. All 245’s are not created equal in width. You need to look at the specific tire you’re interested in and then look at the specs on that tire.

Indeed. Thanks for all the great feedback. I've decided to go with my gut and go with either the gold BBS LM's or gold VS-XX's. If anybody know of a set for sale let me know! Still deciding if I should go 17's or 18's, among other things.

Love this community.
